what would be the point of sending it out then? just so they could say "hey we are going to have these bands in our magazine in 2 months!" ? makes no sense what so ever. they could just as easily send an email round to people saying what they were planning.

okay netty sorry if i sound rude... but obviously you dont know how these things work, magazines such as kerrang, and majority of main stream others, have a business to run, they show available space in the magazine and also show which sections have been taken and by whom...

for instance... metallica and Serj Tankian are touring at the same time, metallica have got a 2 page spread on page 6-8, serj only hase a 1/4 page artical on him, he see's the layout and who has what... and now wants a 2 page spread...

i feel like a sodding maths teach (if a train leave Chicago at 68 miles an hour and a train leaves New York at 79 miles an hour....)

I may not know the way magazines are run or anything else like that but to be totally honest... I think you are talking total bollocks! and personally, if I was in a band and somebody who worked for my record company was posting advanced news about a promotion campaign that huge amounts of money was being put into, I`d be a bit pissed off about it.

I could be totally wrong but there ya go.

well as ive said before everyone is entitled to there opinion

another remark though... have i leaked anything...no i am just letting you know what ive seen and what i think, as going from past experiences. if you dont want to take on bored what ive mentioned, so be it. But please dont say people are talking b*llocks, as ive done with you ive taken on board what you said and tried to respect your point of view, i would have thought you'd do the same for me...

It's been a long time since Green Day did a major interview, as a band - maybe this is what this is about. They could be saying where they're at, discussing the Foxboro stuff, whatever - regardless of whether it's something definite about the next album, it would be great to hear from them in some depth. I'm also thinking - Oct/Nov, the entire world is gonna be focused on the election, is that a great time to be looking to publicize a long-awaited album?

I've many times that tthey would put their next release out on Nov 4th,election day. Not that their next masterpiece will be political, but just to make a splash,an event as Billie has stated. Well, time is running out, but I'm still hoping. They could at least do some sort of interview at least. I really don't think about it much at all anymore to tell you the truth. I know I'll be all excited for them again when they finally say or do something, but right now I've gone from anxiously waiting, to being content to listen to other music.

i dont blame you for not getting your hopes up...

just to let everyone know, im just going by tell tale signs... and whats happened the past few tours/album releases! nothing in concrete, judging by posts im not the only one who noticed this...

Starbug - Corona for you then :D

I thought you said you'd actually seen a sample of an article. In which case, that wouldn't be a telltale sign, at least not in my book. That's why people are reluctant to believe you; we've had so many people with their facts that turn into just 'telltale signs', people are sick of getting their hopes up for no reason

I don't mean this in a nasty way, I'm guessing you're only trying to help.

oh dude i totally understand where your coming from...! no what i meant was i sore the layout of the article...sorry if it came across that way!

I started this thread just to let people know what information i did, also to see if people had noticed the same things, and if it was just me getting my hopes up!

i didnt mean this to come across as "Dan is right hear me roar etc..." thats way (i think) netty has gone on a back foot... or yet i hope so...

lol, I meant 'layout'; or whatever it was you said; what I was getting across was that you mentioned you'd seen something that might make the assumptions more reliable, that none of us had seen. It doesn't really matter though, i'm sure we'll hear about it soon enough if those magazines were going to be featuring anything. We just need to be careful not to spread rumours and such. :)

As many times as Kerrang has covered Green Day, I don't doubt that what you say is true. I think they're in luuurve with them. Who can blame them? They gave them a whole issue to take over. I, of course, have never even seen an issue of Kerrang, but thanks to the loverly GDA, I have seen pictures...

wtf is scuzz?

I think what you need to understand Dan is that we have seen so many people suddenly appear on the forums claiming all sorts of things, with no proof and then have them suddenly vanish again. fans get all excited about things and then it turns out to be total rubbish yet again.

any way, I`ve emailed Bill to see if he is still living in that damned cave or not and we`ll see what he has to say, if anything.

like I said, I could be totally wrong in saying I thought you were talking bollocks. I dont normally come right out and post something like that, but I`m getting pretty frustrated at the moment with people spreading rumours. if I`m wrong, then I`m sorry.

haha yes, I'm from the states... I really like that word, though... but you're right. There's nothing American here, either, anymore. It's all from the United Arab Emirites (sp?) Japan, or China...

that was off topic. I'm taking my leave now...

in some ways, it wouldn't surprise me if, in a couple of weeks, they guys came out and said 'the album will come out in two months', or something, just as a surprise-a bit like th fbht. i mean, it worked well then, so they might try it again with the real thing.

Would completly make my day if I saw on the internet, or the news somewhere "Green Day announce new album". Muahaahaha that would be fantastic!

I'm trying not to keep me hopes too high though. Meh.. I'll just keep my fingers crossed :D

For the past few month I've been thinking a November 2008 release would happen or at least a single but every while I lose faith in that and think not untill 2009

But ya know what

I really do believe we will at least hear something from them in 2008, whether it just be interviews or music :happy:

So Dan is what you're saying is that you work with EMI and you get a preview of magazine that will publish big articles about bands on your label but you seen Green Day were in them but you didnt see what was wrote/it wasnt wrote yet just a template???

Sorry I'm really slow today :lol:

If only! haha.

Then there might still be hope for the 21st of October :woot:

Although I don't think it's tooo late for a new album in 2008, it certainly seems unlikely. Perhaps they just want to keep it tightlipped until they have all their shit figured out and set in stone. But I certainly think that an announcement on their progress wouldn't be too much to ask. Even if they just say "Fall 2009" or (God forbid :lol:) "early 2010" as an estimate in an interview in some sort, I'd be satisfied.

The only reason I have a little bit of beef about them being all secretive is that all the new fans the band has made since the release of American Idiot, seem to have the misconception that the band is broken up, or just continuing as FBHTs only..., which I think may be a mistake on the bands part when it comes time to release the new album. Only my opinion.
